The New York Sun reports manu-
facturers Of tobacco AS saying that the

and refinement who chew nowadays,' y

thought vulgar or disreputable to
chew. Some of the older judges chew,
and there were members of the sn-
prrne court of the United States who
were not easy unless they had i qud.

in this way. and not few of the older

vulgar rs smoking. 1t is certainly not
AS offensive to others. The chewer u.s.
ually annoys and hurts only himself,
unless he pxprctOratrs over the floor
and his neiyhoors. But your smoker
affects the very atmosphere. The
smoke emitted from his mouth, often a
most foul mouth AS to language, teeth
and breath, must be actually breathed
into the lungs and taken into the very
blood and brains Of Others. The time
will come when smoking so rs to an
nOy others will he as much of an Of
fence as the use of indecent language
or the raising of Il disturbance. Many
persons cannot breathe tobacco smoke
without an attack of sick headache,
and hundreds of delicate women, chill
dred and sensitive men have been poi
soned and decided injured by breath
Ing tobacco smoke about hotels, rail-
road dep0ts, etc.
No, il either is to be given up as
''vnlgar," give up smoking, for it is
much more vulgar than chewing, and
often amounts to an assault upon 9TH
ers. Besides, the breath of smoker,
hours after the cigar or pipe has been
laid aside, if often as offensive to 9th
ers as & pig sty. This is especially so
where the human-brute has been
drinking some in connection with
smoking. Even old smokers some
times have to gag" when these ami
mated sewers come around emitting
their dOubly loathsome mass of nico-
tine, alcohol, decayed teeth and scrof-
ula gases.
Some of our readers may say, "physi-

have remembered Bnlwer's apostrophe
in ''What will we do with it?" and his
advice to Jupiter to try the weed rs a
solace. But tobacco, like Intoxicating
drinks, should be used only rs 4 medi-
cine. not as an indulgence. It con-

result in Il number of nervous a1fec.

try the ''mind cure,' or will cure, and
merely resolved to quit the use of to.
bacco. Singular rs it may seem, this
time the "mlnd cure" removed the
taste for tobacco, and we have neithe,
used the weed nor desired to use il
since.
LETTER FROM JOHN JARNAGAV.
YUBA DAM, Cal., Aug. 1887.
EDITOR ADVANCED never realized
the fu|lness of the saying "over the
hills and tar away" until I had scaled
the mountains and landed on this side
of Uncle Sans back bone, and into
this city, whose name savors some what
OF profanity. However, as to that part
OF it, a years life in western Dakota
has accustomed my ears to such sounds
that the burden rests more lightly on
me than it otherwise would, and conse
quently l stand it with a fortitude tha,
would surprise Mobiles county man.
The majority of the people here have
dropped the latter part of the name
and substitute City instead, as being
more fit, I suppose. for the tongues Of
